Two soldiers injured in the Jerusalem terror attack remain in critical condition, an IDF spokesperson says.
The soldiers were part of a group that was hit by a truck driven by an East Jerusalem man on a promenade in the capital.
In total, four soldiers were killed, and 16 soldiers were injured to varying degrees in the attack, according to Jerusalem hospitals.
Three of the soldiers killed in the attack attack were cadets in the IDF’s officers’ training course, while the fourth served in the army’s Education Corps, a military spokesperson says.
Two of the cadets, as well as the education officer, were female soldiers, the army says.
The three cadets were members of the Erez Battalion, a unit within the army’s officers’ training school.
Soldiers in the Erez Battalion come from noncombat units throughout the IDF.
